Another bad news Sunday...Steve Harley just died. The leader of Cockney Rebel and the creator of The Human Menagerie (his 1st album with Cockney Rebel in 1973) just got to be 73 on February 27th. He had cancer and that forced him to stop his 2023 tour in the middle of t. I 1st heard of him on Radio Free Europe back in 1983 with the song Sebastian (1973), which was a powerplay hit on the Metronom by Request show. "Make me smile"
I will pay a tribute to him on Rockland Radio this Thursday, with Death Trip.
So now we're on a death trip, listen to the blood drip Oozing from a curled lip, ever thought of dying slowly Ever thought of dying totally unholy.
Happy for Godzilla Minus One because they had the best mangled speech ever ! Domo Arrigato Mr. Roboto ;) Haven't seen yet the flick ! would've loved to see it screened here (in Ro.)
Happy to see Navalny (well, now that he is is dead ;((((, they put on the beginning of the doc that is on HBO Max... which I 've seen just nights ago...) and Slava Ukraina for 20 Days in Mariupol ! I wondered if they'd cut the cable in Russia...
Robert Downey Jr was (and is) a very happy camper ! Not only a happy camper ! The most happier campiest camper ! I thought he would win for Chaplin in 1992 (Oscars 1993) !!! He thought that too ! He was young and arrogant ! And he needs this now ! Check. Not that Mark Ruffalo's career best in Poor Things wouldn't beat mr. Levi Strauss !!! He actually couldn't caare less ;)
Jimmy Kimmel did a decent performance, not very risque, not very Hu Ha, but safe (almost)
Ahnuld (mr Freeze) & Danny de Vito (penguin) were the best presenters IMO, funny how they threatened The Batman Birdman (Michael Keaton in the front row).
even though you had Al Pacino on the stage, but not much Hu Ha (Best film presenter)
Last time i saw JC and heard about him in Studio 666 where he has a cool cameo.
last Halloween sucked and all in all except the original there were all unnecessary remakes and cash-ins. part II was kinda cool tho. But the Rob Zombie remakes and the reboots booted.
and this is the first release from the album: My Name is Death

This time I'm not sure I can gather them for a part deux review...but weirdly enough none of them saw it in the 1st 2 weeks...
My main interest. As in Heroes (old Gods, Almost Dead topic...) Chris Walken is the Emperor Shaddam IV. Sounds like an SNL sketch to many it seems, read a review that considered that to be a grave mistake. Dudes, this is the guy from Deer Hunter, The Dead Zone and The King of New York.
-I didn't care about the freemen, Wonka with blue eyes, Zendaya Mondatta, his mom and his sis. The worms looks great, the dunes are all righy (Jordan), Zimmer pulls some Tubular Bells in the ending, Elvis is a mean Feyd Rautha and Bardem (Stilgar) plays like he's Anthony Quinn on steroids. Shades of Lawrence of Arabia were in the original novel, here there is Star Wars galore, esp. The Empire Strikes Back, the battle on the ice planet, revisited here on yellow sand. What else? A Gladiator scene in black and white and too little emotion- for me. Not enough cowbell. Amazingly this went straight to Top IMDB #11 (while the 1st film didn't even make the top 250 !!!), let's see how it will do in due time. #3 should be better imo. It has more politics in the plot, less worms and Mu'adib becomes who he should be (a Vader analogy?)
